I remember when my Dad saw that Kevin Greene was now a Panther during the 11 o'clock news. He was so excited that he came upstairs and woke me up and said "We just got Kevin Greene!" I was like "who?" at first because I just got woken up. Then he said "Kevin Greeene. The linebacker from Pittsburgh" and I was like "OH wow! Awesome!". I was about 11 at the time.

Gotta enjoy and reminis with moments with the pops. Cool moment bro!

Never forget: he signed with the 49ers over the panthers because they'd let him wrestle in wcw

He was wrestling with WCW as a Panther in the off season. I thought he left over a heated contract dispute with Bill Polian following his 1996 league leading sack title. Greene held out of camp that season and Polian gave him the boot right before the season started. Once Bill Polian left town Greene came back.

He wanted to be a coach for the Panthers, but they did not give him a shot. So, he followed Capers to the Packers. He loved it here in Carolina.

He was a liability in pass coverage, but he was a monster at rushing the QB.

Kevin Greene - Sam Mills - Carlton Bailey - Lamar Lathon was the best LB unit this team has ever had in their history. If Shaq can make the leap before TD retires and Kuechly improves his pass rush/blitz, then the TD - Kuechly - Shaq combo may overshadow that 1996 crew. Hopefully, Shaq can make that leap this season.

From walk-on football player at Auburn to Defensive Player of the Year in the Southeastern Conference in 1984 (and let me say as an aside here that my college years at Auburn perfectly coincided with KGs, so I remember him so well... class act and helluva player).

To 5th round NFL draft choice.

To multiple Pro Bowls and All-Pros.

To the NFL Hall of Fame.

Oh, and also Army Reserve officer.

And most bad-ass HoF bust I've ever seen.

Dude he was a glorified DE in a 3-4,pointless to say he was poor in coverage.

    • Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.
    • All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course
    • I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
